Supercharger

[rjaudi]

Haddix,

I checked out that listing. It is too good to be true. Anyone who says they have a brand new in box super charger and is only asking $1200 has got to be pullin something funny. But, thank you for the link.

That seems like a good deal, but is in no way to good to be true. On ebay where you have bidders bidding up prices, near new complete chargers are no more than 1500. I have heard people picking some up for less than 700.

seriously? wow. my concern is with an investment such as this, if the part fails it isnt warrantied. the 7th injector kit runs 999.00 plus delivery, not to mention labor on everything. this is one hell of an expensive mod!!!

the 7th injector kit is good, but i went a different route to try and save some money. You can swap in supra injectors that have a higher flow and then just get a piggyback for the ecu to help control things. I am using an SAFC II right now, but i'll be looking to upgrade to the AEM FIC unit maybe in the future. Once you start adding everything else together on-top of the supercharger it does start to get pretty pricey!

this may be a dumb question, but what benefit does the AEM cold air intake and trd cat back i already have on my rig benefit the sc?

they actually will only help the supercharger and engine "breath" better. I also have the AEM brute force intake but i will be switching back to the stock intake with the ISR mod soon. It's actually been proven to produce more horsepower then any aftermarket system. I'm also looking to have a custom 3" exhaust bent up too eventually.

700???!!!??!?!?!?! really owch! I would be taking too much of a loss for those prices! that is probably why I still have mine!

Earlier in the year I found a trd s/c(grey one but still) and trd exhaust for $500. I talked to the guy but after researching how much it would cost to do it the right way I backed out. To much work and $ for the gain Imo. Like stated above the link I posted is a good deal but not to far off from being unreal. Its a great mod but crazy expensive to do it the right way.

Agreed with u haddix

haddix, you should have swooped that up! I bought mine and slowly gathered the necessary parts over 5-6 months. I figured if once I finally get all the parts together and don't feel like installing it, I could definetly turn around and sell it for a profit.
